Airos are premium floating hook baits engineered to lift your hook bait off the bottom, keeping it clear of silt, debris, and small nuisance fish. By elevating the bait into the fish’s direct line of sight, Airos improve bait presentation and increase the chance of confident pickups. Whether targeting carp, kurper, muddies, or yellowfish, Airos provide the buoyancy and visibility needed for effective finesse presentations.
These hook baits are highly versatile. They can be fished as a standalone pop-up or used in combination with other hook baits such as mielies, dough (deegie), tigernuts, or boilies to create a critically balanced bait setup. Many anglers also combine two Airos on a single hook to increase visual attraction or create a unique scent profile that stands out on pressured waters.
